  1. Hey, I wonder if Whaley was on board with this.
  2. In my perfect world he would come to Buffalo, but thanks.
  3. Bill, there is WAY more to it than the above. His daughter just got married and he is a recent grandfather. He set up his son with a car dealership.....in Alabama. He and his wife are very active in the church down there as well as charities and rebuilding after the tornado. But, there is probably more pressure in Alabama than there would be in the NFL. Tide Fans are as crazy as Bills Fans and would have almost no patience for a losing team. We can certainly agree to disagree, but imo Saban, if given control, would create an all world staff and organization, and turn around any losing team (ahem ). The man is a winner. That is a good and fair question CSB. I don't know if he would have AS much success at Syracuse, but he has improved every program with which he has been involved. My guess is that given time, a championship at Syracuse would not be totally out of the question.
  4. If you don't think that Saban would be a better coach than Doug Marrone I really don't know what to say.
  5. I am not a fan of Cowherd but he sure does make a great point here. He compares hiring Saban to hiring Marrone. I know this has been discussed before and if it the mods wish to close this, it's all cool. But if Saban leads the Crimson Tide to victory tomorrow, my fear as a Bama fan is that someone is going to offer him 10 million per season to coach in the NFL. It makes total sense even economically (as Cowherd explains). Think about it if you will, Saban or Rex? Not such a tough decision, ya know? Jmo.
  6. Are you certain that EJ is better than Mallett?
  7. Agreed, but doesn't this make post 26 something to strongly consider? Count me as one who would take a first round pick for Gilmore in a second. It really is telling that there are better ideas on this board than in the heads of Bills management.
  8. Serious questions, NOT a wisecrack: How many games would you say he won us? Now, has he lost us any games?
  9. I would like to give a kid like Dak Prescott a chance to be #2. EJ has had years to prove that he is a bad quarterback and has done exactly that, quite well I might add. When the Bills can dump him and not use cap space in doing so, this is what they should and will do.
  10. Agreed. What will likely happen is that he will walk, and the Bills will replace him with a first round defensive back. And it won't really matter if we are winning or losing because this is what the Bills do. The certainty of the Bills drafting first round defensive backs is a large part of what makes your screen name just so fitting.
  11. Good question. Any ideas? Perhaps because one would think that LA has a lot more going for it than St. Louis. It had the power to bounce back. Ya think there will ever be another CVS in Ferguson? I will say this: if I owned the Rams I would think long and hard about getting out of there. It's sad too because I suspect that the criminals who burned down the CVS, car dealership, etc. were mostly out of town political agitators as opposed to community residents, but I am guessing.
  12. Kyle Williams at DE? The man is listed at 6'1". I don't think so. Jmo.
  13. I have a question: Does anybody think that the riots had any effect on the owner wanting to get away from St. Louis? I have zero idea if the riots did or did not impact the decision but the possibility has crossed my mind several times.
  14. People also use misleading stats about how many times our Linemen actually dropped back into coverage. In addition to more drop backs, players were often just standing around defending an edge or a zone, rather than showing any aggression. We can pretend that he isn't, but the bottom line is that Ryan is a bad football coach and was a huge mistake. And, if his contract was not guaranteed he would be fired. Pegula IS rich, but he owes this buffoon approx. 22 million dollars whether he takes the field or not. I hope that Whaley is smart enough to try to hire Pettine, but I suppose this too is a reach.
  15. :) You have been on one comedic roll as of late! He suffered a torn groin muscle, didn't he?
  16. I completely agree. There are probably psychological reasons that make these guys stay. Years ago when salaries were low, football players were more like working people. They needed their jobs. Today, they have millions. If I had millions of dollars in the bank, a hot wife and some kids to come home to, I am thinking that I would not want to be hit by Marcel Dareus or Suh. I might not want to be hit by anybody, especially if I am already injured in some way, which imo most if not all of these guys are. I have been looking at this since Borland and Willis retired. By coincidence, I wanted the Bills to draft both of them and posted about it.
  17. 1) Agreed and I AM saying Pettine. 2) Not sure I would do that but it's probably a moot point. Whaley already spent that money. 3) Incog and Glenn? It would be nice but I still believe that Glenn will cost 12 mil. per season. 4) The positions you list (2 WR, ILB, and RT) are traditionally not that hard to find. This is hardly the case with the Bills, especially at RT (and guard for that matter). Imo, we could fill these spots with a good draft and yes, I agree these are huge needs. And if you think that ILB is the biggest need, do watch some you tube clips of Reggie Ragland. 5) Until he proves otherwise, Rex is just another clown. He needs to get rid of this dumb defense, learn how to manage the clock, and stop making it all about him. It would seem to be a daunting task but who knows? GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. Ragland is an incredible player. He is not quite as good as CJ Mosley was against the pass, but much, much better against the run. Ragland is a whole lot stronger.
  19. No they really do not. Imo he is a brick wall in the middle.
  20. That is one great point you make! And btw, your signature is hilarious. I have come to appreciate the humor on this board more and more. The screen names are just SO good, I think they are worthy of a thread.
  21. :) :) I thought I was bad!
  22. Sure Dave but if the pick would have been Ebron, who would you blame? Or would we be here saying that he "needs more time?"
  23. I guess time will tell and of course, I hope I am wrong. Of one thing I AM certain: This team really does need a good draft. We shot our free agency load so to speak on Clay and McCoy. By the way, your response was a good one and was way funnier than it was probably intended to be.
  24. First of all, the kids from LSU aren't so bad, wouldn't you agree? And again, EJ Manuel (a Whaley blunder) was the quarterback when he made this deal. John from Hemet posts that if not for injuries, Sammy might be the best. Maybe so. And if he WAS seriously injured the Bills would be missing not one but 2 first round picks (and a 4th) and this board would be on fire calling for Whaley's job. In other words, there was an awful lot of risk in that deal. I also remind you that we have not had a playoff appearance since the trade was made. Do I blame the trade? No I don't but the results are what they are. And please, let's not forget that he offered contracts to Spiller and Byrd. He got very lucky there, but there is nothing wrong with good luck, right? In all, Whaley doesn't completely suck. I never claimed that this was the case. Imo he is so-so at best but the team has ben so bad for so long, we as fans tend to embrace any Bill who isn't completely awful and sadly, even some who are (Losman, Manuel, etc.).
